Powermate Corporation

The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active in recorded history. The impact of the season, which included Hurricane Katrina, was widespread and ruinous with at least 2,280 deaths and record damages of over $100 billion.

It is during catastrophic times like these that power generators manufactured by Powermate Corporation are needed the most. Marlene Hadwiger, Inventory Planner of Aurora, IL-based Powermate, fully understands the importance of a prompt delivery.

"Demand for our generators can spark at a moment's notice, so our supply chain must be able to meet the quantity, quality and delivery demands of our retailers," Marlene explained. "We have been working with T&B Tube for more than 20 years and they are yet to disappoint us."

T&B Tube manufactures and cuts the steel tubing that Powermate forms
to build the frame of their power generators. Whether updating orders, checking the status of a delivery or sending demand forecasts, Marlene interacts almost daily with her T&B tube representative.

"T&B Tube is ranked at the very top of our suppliers in terms of customer service and reaction time," Marlene said. " The longevity of our relationship is a testament to this fact. Powermate is confident that it is working with the best."

Powermate also depends on T&B Tube for a portion of their warehousing needs. Marlene feels this is an invaluable service.

"The warehousing capabilities of T&B Tube are incredible," she concluded. "They are always ready to just load up a truck and go."
